Bhiwandi ring road work to be done in two phases, SP MLA Rais Shaikh moves attention motion in assembly

Published

on

Mumbai: State Industry Minister Uday Samant on Friday announced in the Assembly that the government will work on the ring road in two phases and farmers will be compensated for their land at a competitive rate to ease opposition to land acquisition. Ring road work in Bhiwandi has been stalled since 2017 due to delay in land acquisition.

On Friday, Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh raised the issue of the 60-km-long ring road passing through the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation area in the Assembly.

“The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority had sanctioned Rs 201 crore for this road in 2017. Land acquisition has been completed in three of the nine villages, but farmers of six villages are against land acquisition. Bhiwandi city has a population of 1.7 million and the ring road should be constructed as soon as possible to avoid traffic congestion,” Shaikh said. He further suggested that Bhiwandi farmers should get compensation for their land on the lines of the Samruddhi Mahamarg project. “This will reduce opposition to land acquisition in six villages and the work will be able to proceed.” Besides, construction of the ring road should be started immediately in the three villages where land has already been acquired. The remaining work of the ring road should be started in the second phase after land acquisition, so that the project is completed on time.

Responding to this, Industry Minister Uday Samant said that unlike Samruddhi Highway, compensation cannot be given for land acquisition in Bhiwandi. However, compensation for land acquisition in the remaining villages will be given at competitive market rates. The 60-km long ring road project will be completed in two phases. Instructions will be issued to MMRDA immediately in this regard.
